Systems and methods for adaptive curation of rendered digital assets within a virtual workspace in a collaboration system

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for implementing adaptive curation of digital assets displayed on a virtual workspace in a collaborative session between network nodes hosted in part by a collaboration system. The system includes logic to retrieve, from a server-side network node, a spatial event map identifying events in the virtual workspace. The virtual workspace comprises locations having virtual coordinates. The events identified by the spatial event map are related to digital assets within the virtual workspace. The system includes logic to identify a local client viewport in the virtual workspace. The system includes logic to render, in the display space on the display, a curated set of digital assets of the plurality of digital assets. The digital assets of the curated set include only digital assets identified as first priority digital assets and exclude other digital assets not identified as being first priority digital assets.
